Brunswick Eruption 5 Nov.4

[Libby K]

can't wait! 1923 WILL be there.

[Mike Schroeder]

Just a reminder to anyone wishing to volunteer

We could still use some help on the field,

mainly with feild reset and Queing
but there are a couple of spots open for Refs....

Please email me (Big Mike) bigmike25@gmail.com with the subject line "Brunswick Eruption Volunteer" if you are interested.

And in Completly unrelated news, I was hoping to engage a slight rule change (keep in mind that slight is one of those objective words )

Instead of this format for play

10 sec automode
40 second alliance a-offense b-defense
40 second alliance a-defense b-offense
and then
40 second free-for-all

i was thinking of somthing like this
10 second automode
2:00 Minute free-for-all

assuming Mike Wade's field can do this, and the teams compete enjoy the idea i think this would really make for some awesome matches


feel free to let me know what you think (esspecially if you are a team registered for the event)

Team 1155 is definitely interested in attending but i need to check with my co-captains and mentors once school starts up again to make sure.

While I don't have a dog in this fight, I will vouch for the awesomeness of the two-minute free-for-all. (Granted, we tried it with 2v2 on a smaller field, but I believe it can carry over to standard Aim High.)

This could be interesting...

*Cough* Rule changes in favor of 25 *Cough*

J/K
sounds interesting, hopefully it will pump up the energy of the matches

Not really....

Big Mike only suggested [mind you nothing is final] this rule change because he feels like being a lazy ref so that he doesn't have to watch out for off-sides...

I just realized that Nov. 4th is an SAT day. Isn't North Brunswick High School a testing center?

Wow, you're right. But I doubt they are testing near the Gym lol. And it will be much better than last year. (Last year, BE fell on the same date as the drama club's play)

And the school Calendar has it wrong, BE5 will be held in the gym, not the commons.

I only mention this because when we were doing Monty Madness, we were told by the school that absolutely nobody is allowed to do anything in the school while examinations were going on(our school is a test center too). I think this was a regulation put into place by College Board, so we had to pick a date that didn't conflict with SAT's.

Team 102 will be there and ready to go!!!

Be interesting to see how that whole SAT thing works out... be kinda loud having many of us in the gym while there are many taking SATs that day haha.

Not only is it SATs that day, it's also the Sectionals for anyone in Cross Country, so that means those people (like myself) will be pretty late getting to the competition haha*gah* Hopefully we run like 9:00am instead of 1:00pm lol. So many things on one day for some people. I wonder what else can be packed into one day for someone lol.

The SATs are given upstairs in a whole different wing of the building. We wont let them bother the robotics competition too much.


Sitting at 20 teams and still looking for more.....

Update BE5-

with 6 weeks 'til game time the team count for BE 5 has reached 26. And we still have a number of "locals" that havent committed yet.

Today 5 cases of new poof balls arrived- nice, shiny and brand new.

The food committee has the menu planned and the chefs are getting their crew in line

Big Mike is getting the field ops roster together.

And we have 70 new kids on the team looking for something to work on.....


We would like to see all of your teams come to our house. We are going to have a lot of fun. We can easily host 36 (even more) and we have inexpensive hotels in the neighborhood. Forty minutes from Newark Airport. Two miles form the NJ Turnpike- Rt 95.

Team 25 has a brand new drive team- should be interesting. We expect a great time.

Come on over'
